Source & Catchments

Treatment of municipal wastewater reverse osmosis concentrate using oxidation by UV-meditated processes

Increasing water demand due to a growing population and improved lifestyles is exerting greater pressure on existing water resources…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Destruction of toxicity & reduction of organic content of municipal wastewater reverse osmosis concentrate

Wastewater recycling uses reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to produce freshwater but this process also generates a waste stream – the reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) – which contains almost all the contaminants present in the original wastewater…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

New techniques for real time monitoring of membrane integrity for virus removal

Ultrafiltration membranes are used to remove viruses from treated wastewater…

Circular Economy

Development of predictive tools for membrane ageing

Harmful pathogens and compounds must be removed from wastewater before it can be discharged to the environment or used for irrigation, and many source waters need salts removed to make them potable…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Membrane integrity testing for virus particle removal

The Australian water industry uses a variety of membrane processes to remove unwanted pathogens or compounds, such as salt, from source waters…

Networks & Treatment

Pathogen removal by Australian activated sludge

Sewage is delivered to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) where benign microbial organisms within ‘activated sludge’ vessels contribute to the removal of harmful pathogens from the sewage…

Networks & Treatment

Decentralised treatment solutions for regional and remote water supplies

In Australia, remote and regional communities frequently manage relatively small, isolated water treatment and waste management systems which have water quality and health risks characteristic of small-scale decentralised operations…

Networks & Treatment

Online Monitoring Guidance Manual incorporating decision support tools for superior process performance

Although water utilities recognise the value of online instruments that provide real-time monitoring capability, there are problems with visualising and interpreting datasets, and with distinguishing between data resulting from real-world changes in treatment plant operating conditions, for example changed turbidity or flow, and instrument failure…

Networks & Treatment

Water Treatment Optimisation Manual

The ADWG prioritises the removal of microscopic pathogens (and the toxins some produce) from public drinking water supplies to prevent large scale outbreaks of illness…

Networks & Treatment

Management of treatment sludge impacted by cyanobacteria

Water treatment plants (WTP) take in source waters then remove 95-99% of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) cells and the toxins they produce…
